Andy Orlowski, Amazing Instructor

Amazing instructor Andy Orlowski! Have nothing but faultless comments about the service Andy has given our daughter, leading her to pass in just over 4 months with 0 faults! Andy has been reliable, fair priced, flexible and extremely professional in his service. Most importantly he has inspired my girl to build excellent skills and confidence in her abilities. 100% recommend his driving school and in 2 years we shall be back for daughter number two! Thank you Andy!

Iain Wright

Learning with Iain Wright was a pleasure, he helped me pass with 0 minors! Very pleasant person to be around but professional/strict right when he needs to be. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!

Andy Orlowski

Had a great experience learning to drive with Andy Orlowski. Andy was friendly, good to chat to, calm, reassuring and an all-round great instructor. He helped me push myself to go further and get ready for the test, while at the same time making sure I felt ready and confident in myself. Thanks Andy!

Andy was fantastic

Passed first time with 1 minor. Had Andy Orlowski for two months, he was really great, down to earth, and completely eased my anxiety, so when it came time to take the test all trepidation had disappeared. Highly recommended!

Driving lessons with Jeanette

I started my lessons as a complete beginner with quite a bit of anxiety towards driving. Jeanette was the best instructor I could’ve asked for! She was incredibly patient, friendly and knew when to push me out of my comfort zone without doing too much too quickly. Jeanette went above and beyond when booking lessons around my work schedule, and I passed first time with one minor. Jeanette is a massive credit to Nayland and I’d highly recommend!

Thanks again Jeanette!

Honestly have learnt so much in the last few months through my driving instructor Andy, not only did I learn how to drive he also taught some life skills that will stick with me for life. I will honestly miss my driving lessons in a way they were such a great part of my life each week. I ended up passing first time with only 1 minor, with only 18 lessons. I recommend Andy to anyone he’s such a great guy.

Andy Orlowski

Cannot recommend Andy Orlowski highly enough, he is a fantastic instructor, my Son thoroughly enjoyed his lessons, was always made to feel comfortable with Andy's calm approach. Always very supportive & encouraging. He done an amazing job of teaching my Son, who passed first time with only 1 minor! A very well experienced instructor & an all round great guy!
100% would recommend!
